The Greatest Architect

“Lloyd Frontera, the eldest son of the Frontera family, greets Earl Cremo wisely, with an offer to build a new 'Construction' law to build a 'Statue of the Sea' to drive out 'Gigatitan’. ”

Lloyd's voice fills the reception room.

At that moment, the reception room was static.

The butler's face opened the door.

Xaviel's eyebrows twitch, standing behind Lloyd.

And Earl Cremo looked back at Lloyd…….

“What did you just say? ”

I tilted my head.

There you go.

I was not angry.

Revealed interest first.

And that's what you get for a bun.), Lloyd quickly came up with an answer.

“As you say. On the way here, I overheard the Earl's concerns, and I remembered that I had a plan to solve them. ”

“A little more. ”

The Earl buries himself deep in the banquet hall chair.

You look at me with sharpened eyes.

‘It's like presenting a choreography in front of the professor. ’

But Lloyd wasn't nervous.

I've forgotten the Earl's identity and power.

Instead, I thought of the Earl like this.

‘That man is money. He's a client who'll open his wallet for me. ’

How to open the customer's heart wide.

I'll get them to sign the order somehow.

I was as determined as the chef who put the ingredients in front of me.

And he said casually.

“To conclude, the conditions of your construction, the vertical foundation, will never be met by the landfill technology of other builders. ”

“You mean it's impossible for them? ”

“Yes.”

“And that's possible for you? ”

“Yes.”

Lloyd nods.

It is most important to show confidence in these situations.

Likewise, he said with a confident voice.

“I think the solution is to use a combination of friction pegs and Box Caisson to create the best footprint in a narrow waterway. ”

“A stake? Box Casey? ”

“Yes.”

“Hmm, good. ”

“Did you know about those techniques? ”

“No, not at all. ”

The Earl shakes his head.

I laughed like a big bear.

“How would I know that? ”

“And if you do?”

“I never had anyone to work on it anyway. But that pesky Gigatitan doesn't know he's leaving the sea ahead, and that's why our port is continually decreasing trade volume. But since you're so confident, let's just leave it at that. Success is good. Failure is good. Oh, of course, if the construction fails, you know you're going to have to pay for it, right? ”

“Of course.”

But what if we succeed?

It will generate enormous Construction costs.

There, you may have a strong relationship with Count Cremo, the most powerful man in the province.

The so-called solid density is building up.

‘Perfect. ’

Lloyd secretly clenches his fist.

‘It was a quick thought from the deacon, but it worked. ’

Construction that is delayed.

There is no builder.

It was Lloyd who had already smelled like espresso.

So I rolled my head in a short time to the reception room.

Possibility of successful construction.

The benefits as a result.

What happens if you fail?

All of those factors were accounted for and calculated.

And I quickly came to a conclusion.

It's worth a shot.

It also referenced the personality of Earl Cremo, who was read in an article on the Blood of Novels.

‘It's hot and it's big. Not only did I care about the talented, but I didn't get involved in the crappy forms. ’

If I had the ability, I wouldn't identify myself.

That's why I treated Xaviel, who was a wanted man, as a favor.

Even in the middle of the novel, he became a great and reliable supporter of Xaviel.

‘That personality will be the same now. ’

That's why.

Instead of talking in circles, let's go straight.

He expressed his interest in the Earl and suggested a solution.

And it worked.

Lloyd said:

“Thank you, thank you for your trust. ”

“You're welcome. By the way, I started talking nonsense about construction, so I didn't hear it right before. Who did you say you were? ”

“Ah, the eldest son of the Frontera family, Lloyd Frontera. ”

Lloyd bows his head and gives an example.

At that moment, the Earl smiled as if he were Hoyne.

Ignoring the General Deacon's request, he was also invisible when he mentioned "Gigatitan," "statue," and "construction."

“Have you seen this arrogant fellow? ”

Earl Cremo rises from his seat with a stiff face.

You walk this way.

You made it this way.

You stand before Xaviel.

You make a stern rebuke at the Silver Hair Knight.

“Yes, I was confident, somehow speaking of curious construction techniques. So you were the oldest son of the Frontera family? I've heard many times that you are quite good at construction. In fact, I once thought about sending someone to do the construction. But I didn't know he was so impudent and disrespectful. ”

The Earl's voice becomes heavy.

“Since we were just talking about construction a while ago, how dare you ask me to meet you and formally greet you? Haha. I never thought I'd be this rude in my life. ”

A feast stands in the Earl's eyes toward Xaviel.

That's why.

Royd, left behind by the Earl.

He had to scratch his chin without me knowing.

“Hmm, me, Earl? ”

“Quiet down there, don't take another step! ”

“ ……. ”

“Now, explain yourself. The firstborn son of the Frontera family. Did you come all the way here today to show me this disrespect? ”

The Earl's stern gaze is pierced into Xaviel's calm face.

Lloyd smiles sadly.

“Am I, Earl? ”

“I told you to be quiet down there. ”

“Hey, I'm sorry……. ”

“If you think you're sorry, keep your mouth shut.... ”

“I'm Lloyd Frontera. ”

“Hmm?"

Earl Cremo stops.

Queek, his head and gaze return this way.

“You?”

“Yes."

“The firstborn of the Frontera family? ”

“Yes.”

Lloyd just smiles bitterly.

Earl Cremo points to Xaviel with a confused face.

“What about this guy? ”

“This is my escort. ”

“Really?"

“Yes.”

“Really?"

“Yes, really. ”

“Slurp. This fellow is a nobleman's coronation by the looks of it. ”

“ ……. ”

“It's true.”

“ ……. ”

“Anyway, it's a pleasure to meet such a talented builder. ”

“…… Yes, it's an honor. ”

The Earl shakes his hand and laughs.

I looked this way with the eyes that it was quite interesting.

“You're quite a bowl, aren't you? ”

“Yes?”

“It's a big distribution and a broad mind. ”

“What do you mean by that? ”

Suddenly it's the size of a bowl. Distribution.

Even Lloyd couldn't understand what it meant.

The Earl smiles and says,

“That's because I carry a knight who looks more noble than you, tied to his side. Go ask someone you've never met before. A hundred people would think he's noble, that he's beneath you. ”

“Hehe.”

“Why? Can't you accept that? ”

“Oh, no. You poked me too hard. ”

“Haha. I knew it, but I couldn't help but notice he's still with his henchman. You're more than you look. ”

“ ……. ”

Hey, can we please get back to the construction story?

Lloyd prayed with all his heart.

Fortunately, the Earl's factual violence was over.

“Let's finish the construction story. ”

“Yes, thank you. ”

Afterwards, we were able to talk about the sea surface construction.

Lloyd gave a technical explanation, and the Earl nodded.

The Earl promised support such as manpower, and Lloyd expressed his gratitude.

As such, a construction order agreement was written.

Of course, the first objective of coming here, the second-hand treasure, could also be tied up safely.

“Give the goods to the butler. I get paid through you. ”

“Thank you."

“No thanks. Please do the construction properly. If you succeed, you will be well rewarded. ”

“I'll keep that in mind.”

Clients who open their wallets clasp.

With that in mind, Lloyd sends his sincere thanks.

The day I proposed to the owner of the tavern in the territory to build a greenhouse.

The big picture that comes to mind on the first day of the Bing.

Building ports, building bridges.

My ambition was to win such a big civil works.

That's why I painted the debt to my family to settle.

The cornerstone of that day was coming true.

Finally, the first order of construction from the nobles of the upper class.

It was the beginning of a new construction that would give him a heavy swarm of money.

♣

The next day was bright.

Construction of marine artificial terrain from Earl Cremo.

Lloyd began preparing for the new construction.

It was surveyed.

“Hehe.”

The waves in front of the barren harbor.

A sturdy wooden boat floating on top.

Lloyd pushes his head out of the side ledge of the boat.

I took a big breath.

And he put on his face water glasses that looked like a big bar of soap.

I held my breath. I ducked. I pushed my face into the sea.

Chamber.

Cold touch of sea water touching the face.

‘Ugh, I think my face is ripping off. ’

It was an early winter sea.

And you put your naked face in the water?

It was literally as cold as a whole facial skin.

But Lloyd doesn't take his face off.

I couldn't take it off.

to take measurements.

‘No construction can proceed without surveying. But what if I activate my surveying skills? I have to see it with my own eyes. ’

But this construction site was at the bottom of the ocean.

That is, we have to see the bottom of the sea.

‘But fortunately, the water is clear. ’

Lloyd opens his eyes in the cold water.

The water in front of the sea in Cremo was low.

In other words, there was very little flotation in the water and it was clear enough.

The water glasses provided by the Earl were also good performance items.

Thanks to this, the bottom of the sea is clearly visible below the depths of more than 10 meters.

‘Hmm.'

Tsutztsu!

Surveying skill triggered, informing the bottom of the sea.

‘Fortunately, there are very few inclinations on the sea floor. It's flat, and the surface of the sea floor is thick with deposits, so it's moderately soft. The weathering rock layer and the softening rock layer... Hmm, I don't see the softening rock layer. ’

The shale layer was a relatively hard terrain deep below the sea floor.

But I don't see any duct rock here.

To be precise, there was no soft rock layer detected within 5 meters of the ground, which was identified by Lloyd's option of measuring skills, 'underground scanning’.

‘Maybe deeper. It doesn't matter. Anyway... Ugh, we're at our limit. ’

As I examined the sea floor, Lloyd's face distorted.

Because it's harder to hold your breath?

It wasn't.

The water was too cold.

I felt my face disappearing.

‘Ugh.'

Glug glug!

In the end, Lloyd raises his head, impatient.

“Phew! Phew, phew! Towel!”

I shouted as soon as I lifted my head.

The reaction immediately came from my side.

“Here you go. ”

Xaviel brings me a dry towel.

I quickly took off my glasses and took a towel.

I wiped the seawater off my face.

After a while, the skin sensation gradually returned.

‘Ugh, I hate it. ’

It was okay to hold my breath.

But the water was so cold.

I think I'm going to get frostbite on my face.

Lloyd looks at Xaviel in a burst of self-esteem.

“Hey.”

“Yes?”

“Can't you measure for me? ”

I meant it.

I wanted to leave it as long as I could.

But it was not possible for Lloyd and Xaviel to know better.

“Of course I'd like to do the same.”

“I do?”

“I don't want to.”

“Why?”

“Because now it's fun. ”

“Are you having fun? Wait, you can't be... ”

“Yes, I'm very happy to see Lloyd whimpering and struggling. ”

“…… hey. ”

“I'm kidding.”

“Phew, I thought you were joking, too. ”

“It feels so good, like a mother. ”

“Because you can see me struggling and moaning? ”

“Yes.”

“ ……. ”

“That's a joke. ”

“ ……. ”

He's enjoying himself.

But Lloyd could feel it on the other hand.

That Xaviel isn't just enjoying this situation.

“By the way, is it possible this time? ”

“Is it possible? What? ”

“Construction. ”

Xaviel says with a worried tone.

“To be honest, it's a little unimaginable, actually. ”

“Imagine?”

“Yes.”

His words continued.

“It's not that shallow here. But it makes me wonder how we're going to make land without pouring soil and stone. Is that even possible? ”

“You just have a meeting? ”

“Yes, it's completely different from Marez Gadget. ”

That was Xaviel's honest idea.

Marez Gage.

A land that drained the water from the original marsh and turned it into arable land.

It was so different from here.

“Are you trying to get Haman to drink the water of the sea again? But that doesn't seem possible. ”

Even though Haman could drink a lot of water.

There was a lot more sea water than that.

I could never stop drinking and drinking.

So it was impossible to get the surrounding water out and do the construction like Marez Gadget did.

Xaviel asked with all his heart.

“Lloyd, are you preparing some magic? ”

This time, it won't be easy unless it's magical.

It's friction pegs.

It's Box Casey.

I heard Lloyd briefly introduced a number of techniques to the Earl, but I still wondered.

He shrugged his shoulders to understand that feeling.

“Magic. Sort of. ”

It's true.

This time, something magical will happen.

Xaviel is questionable enough.

That's what Lloyd said.

“This time, we will use the most magical materials in the construction site. ”

“Magical ingredients? ”

“Cement, have you heard of it? ”

Cement.

Lloyd smiles, putting his name on his mouth.

And I thought,

Again, it is sad to lose tools in the construction site.
